Chapter 1- Marias death, Dylans accident,

19.02.18
"What's your problem Rudy?" Mum yelled as she aggressively sat down on the sofa, her hands on her head.
"Maria's death isn't my fault" My dad kicked the fridge.

Once again, I was trapped between my mother and fathers fighting; i had enough. Storming, I went upstairs and shut the door as I flopped upon my bed. Covering myself with the blanket, I weeped as memories flashed back at me.

Flashback~
26.02.14
This occured four years ago. My sister was nine and I was eleven. It was a late, dark evening. My father, sister and I were in the car heading back home from a long day at the beach. However, my mum wanted to stay home because she wasn't feeling well.
Looking out of the windows, I could see the dull trees screaming with the deafening noises of thunder. Shivering, I held onto my sister as I felt warm and safe. The peaceful moment was disturbed by a phone call.

"Dear how long are you going to take?" Mum called Dad.
"We will be back home by 10 "
"Be safe love" My mum's voice tensed.
"I'm not such a bad driver" My dad giggled.

Meanwhile, I was alarmed by the sight of two people; I couldn't see them clearly as it was quite dark.However, there were two young boys my age. Observing their actions, I figured they were up to something suspicious. Before calling them out, the car instantly stopped.

THUD!
Suddenly, my dad took his belt off as he opened the car door.
"Sweeties both of you stay here and dont get out" My father kissed us on the forehead even though, his tone was strict.
"What happened?" Maria began crying.
"Nothing baby, Jesse is here for you!" I comforted her.

Lifting myself up, I tried to see what happened. My father rushed in front of our car as I saw a young girls body covered in blood. Once again, her face was blurry as it was filled with wounds. Sweat rolled down my forehead, will my father be arrested? Is the person okay?

Drowned into my thoughts, there was a smash in the window as I screamed in fright. Trying to open the door, they were locked. Unfortunately, someone carried Maria away as I tried to pull her but, the person was too strong. He had a white shirt on and his hazel eyes will always haunt me. At the bottom of his left arm, he had a tattoo of a rose. His spiked, jet-black hair covered the freckles on his face. Tears streamed down my face as my father dashed back to the car.
"Where's Maria?" He yelled.
"He.. took he..r" I cried.
As a result, my father began running behind him but there was no use; the person left with Maria.
Flashback ends~

Since that day, my mum has been in depression. Also, my dad has never been the same loving and caring dad anymore. Everyday, my mum and dad would have fights about that day. On one hand, I felt bad for my mum because she lost her daughter and due to depression, she blames my dad. However, it isn't entirely my father's fault and he's already  guilty of his actions. Has anyone ever asked me how I feel? I lost my sister! We have always believed the young girls family wanted to seek revenge, so they kidnapped Maria. Hence, she never came back and my parents think she's dead. However, thats not true! I know she's alive; she must be. Placing the picture of Maria and I in the drawer, I kiss the image.

Wiping my tears away, I have had enough of my parents argument. Heading towards the bathroom, I splashed  my face with cold water. Soon, I grabbed my black puma hoodie and white trainers.  As usual, I left the house and headed outside to catch some fresh air and escape this conflict. Despite, it was dark and stormy.

After a while, I couldn't control my tears.
"Maria, where are you?" I screamed into the cloudy storm.
"Maria?" I heard a deep, masculine voice. "Talking to yourself?"
Suddenly, I looked back and bumped into his hard chest.
"Watch where you're going!" I yelled.
"Excuse me?" He paused as he saw a tear roll down my cheek which I flicked away. "You okay?"
"I'm sorry!" I jumped upon the little cliff behind me as I let the air take me away.
He handed me a tissue as I discreetly wiped my eyes.
"Just a little bit of mascara" I lied.
"Mhm" He raised an eyebrow as I  finally saw him for the first time.

His green eyes sparkled as his soft hands striked his brown, thick curly hair. Dangling, his headphones brought me to a rose tattoo on his left arm; it read 'Dylan'. He had a piercing in his right ear. His black jacket covered his white, thin shirt with his black jeans. Smiling, his dimples were seen as they filed his face with a perfect jawline.

"Done?" He smirked.
"Done what?" I looked confused.
"Checking me out?" He striked his hand behind his hair.
"Dont gass yourself" I glared at him.
"You're not so bad looking yourself" He eyed me up and down.
"Excuse me?" I stood up and pointed at him.
"Excused," He made the way for me as I ignored him and left.
"Don't you think you're forgetting something?" He called out as he jogged backwards facing me. "My number?"
I pulled him a death stare.
"I tried it" He smirked from a distance.

Suddenly, a car came zooming rapidly at him as I froze. Memories raced back at me as I was unable to move. My heart thudded against my chest as my voice didn't allow me to scream. Immediately, the car hit Dylan and I felt a bang on the back of my head as I fell to the floor. Gradually, my eyes felt heavy and blurry until nothing could be seen.
